don't use long pass if oppo has many lines (meaning DMs)

nikolgiorgos why is that? (I mean in real life the point of long passes is to bypass the lines...)
in real football, the good long pass for a successful counter attack, is a low height pass.
- High balls always give an advantage to the defending player as he can take a good position with his body, without loosing the eye-contact with the ball.
The body and the head of the attacker have a different position as he must look back and high.
- The defender just had to throw away the ball with his head which is in a higher place than the body or the feet of the attacker (he must use those for controlling the long high pass).

So this short (in height) pass, must go through 3 or 4 lines.
It's like throwing a small ball or stone through the holes of 2,3 or 4 fences.
